Our way at first is through the Mouse

ability of the country for grain raising.
The railroad grade is to our left, and soon
begins to ascend out of the valley to the
high level beyond. Four miles from
Minot is Gassman's Coulee, here crossed
by the great railroad trestle, 1000 feet
long and 100 high. The bluffs are steep,
but once on their summit, the land becomes

The Effects Of Mental Exhaustion.

Many diseases, especially those of the ner-
vous system, are the products of daily re-
newed mental exhaustion. Business avoca-
tons involve a large amount of mental
wear and tear very prejudicial TO physical
health, and the professions if arduousy
pursued, are no less destructive to brain and
nerve tissue. 1t is one of the most i'm
portant attributes of Hostetters Stomach
BitterS, that it compensates for this undue
loss of tissue, and that it imparts new energy
to the brain and nerves The rapidity with
which it renews weakened mental energy and
physical vitality is remarkable and shows
that its invigcrating properties are of the
highest order. Besides increasing vital
stamina, aud counteracting the effects OF
mental exhaustion, this potential medicine
cures and prevents fever, ague, rheumatism
chronic dyspepsia and constipation, kidney
and uterine weakness and other complaints.
Physicians also commend it as a medicated
